On October 30, 2009, HLC entered into a new $75.0 million warehouse line of credit with JPMorgan Chase. This new facility increases HLC's total borrowing capacity under its three currently available warehouse lines of credit to $175.0 million. The new JP Morgan Chase facility will be used to fund and is secured by consumer residential loans that are held for sale. The term of the new facility is through October 29, 2010. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a rate equal to (a) 2.50% plus the greater of the 30-day LIBOR rate or 2.00% for loans being sold to JPMorgan Chase and (b) 2.75% plus the greater of the 30-day LIBOR rate or 2.00% for loans not being purchased by JPMorgan Chase.

Under the terms of this new facility, HLC is required to maintain various financial and other covenants. These financial covenants include maintaining
(i) a minimum tangible net worth of $44.0 million, (ii) a minimum ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.05:1 (iii) a minimum liquidity equal to 3.0% of HLC's actual total assets, (iv) a maximum ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of 10:1 and (v) pre-tax net income requirements on a monthly basis. Additionally, HLC is required to maintain warehouse facilities from buyers and lenders other than JPMorgan Chase such that the warehouse facility with JPMorgan Chase constitutes no more than 50% of HLC's total available warehouse facilities.

Under the terms of this new facility, HLC may not permit (i) its net loss before taxes for any calendar quarter to be greater than $2.5 million or (ii) any net loss before taxes to occur for any two consecutive calendar quarters. Finally, HLC's borrowings under the facility will be guaranteed by the Company, LendingTree Holdings Corp. and LendingTree, LLC.
